The lawsuit was about loading MULTIPLE COPIES of the same LICENCED program. You purchase one licence, and are therefore not allowed to run multiple copies simultaneously.
Yeah, it's probably a bad decision. But it's nothing like "You can't load up (product) if your computer's memory contains a copy of (insert competing product here)."
Being President of the United States means sometimes taking an unpopular stance on an issue despite the outcry of the public. It sometimes means thinking in the long term instead of the short, 24-hour sound-bite news cycle.
Unfortunately, getting elected means the exact opposite.
Indeed. Merely having tons of data doesn't actually give you insight into what you have measured. You must distill the data, pull out trends, and construct models. I just don't see how have mountains of data about a species, but still being unable to answer simple questions about it, is superior to conventional science (which can answer questions about the things it has discovered).
A deluge of data and data-mining techniques is a boon to science. But I don't see the benefit of giving up on the remarkably successful strategy of constructing models to explain the phenomena we've observed. I somehow doubt that having 20 petabytes of data on electron-electron interactions is more useful than having a concise theory of quantum mechanics.
The difference is that we now have the capability to collect meaningful data without an a priori model. This allows us to much more effectively construct a model based on data, rather than constructing a model and looking for data to validate or invalidate it (AKA the scientific method).

Helping out at schools is a GREAT way to give back to the community. I'm still in high school, but during my free periods I work in the computer lab at the inner-city elementary school that I attended. When schools are underfunded, the first thing that gets cut is generally language and computer education programs; often times these programs lack both personnel and equipment.
It's amazing how much difference a few hours a week can make to overworked and undertrained teachers and technicians.
AFAIK, prototypes of these have been out for a while. As of this summer, my roommate from Japan had one, which he used in Japan to pay at certain places. Had anybody else seen these before now?
It may not have been a DoCoMo phone, but with DoCoMo backing this service it's about to get really popular really quick...
I mean didn't we just see an article in which hundreds of Slashdot posters defended in public the use of the term "ricer".
Oh come ON. If you're going to get all indignant about that term, at least learn where it comes from. HINT: adding rice alcohol to small engines for a small performance boost.

Whoa. I want. So you can open up a CLI and just start running *nix commands. How stripped down is the CLI (i.e. what apps/utils does it have)? Also, how could I go about getting an ethernet adaptor for one?

It's "You can't load up (product) twice"

They did. Read the license.

Even then, why does the SMTP server accept e-mails from the past?
When else would the messages be from?
They need ractors.
I'm in high school and I've heard of it.
I would hope that even MS managers would know what it is and not just have read that phrase in a TPS report...

Surely noone would be smart enough to open the sendmail sourcecode and comment out the wait() lines.
Surely noone would be smart enough to read the site first.
This wouldn't be done with wait(), it involves actually calculating a token that needs to be verified before sending email.
Yeah, someone does. The MPAA.
